TuneUp Utilities 2009 can make your Windows operating system faster, more comfortable and more secure with just a few mouse clicks. And all operations performed on the operating system are completely safe, because all changes are monitored by TuneUp Rescue Center and can be undone at any time. All TuneUp Utilities modules can be accessed through a common interface that is divided into six categories.
The software helps both beginners and experts to make Windows meet their needs in a way that is better, easier and safer. All important system options are explained in an easy way and can be turned on or off at the click of your mouse. TuneUp Utilities 2009 will then make the necessary changes in the registry or boot files automatically. We place a high value on system stability, so that Windows won't stop working reliably. And most changes that you make can be undone in TuneUp Rescue Center - easily and safely.
The program also gives you many more options. In
addition to helping you make Windows "better looking", you can also clean up and optimize your system at the click of a mouse. TuneUp Utilities 2009 will clean up unnecessary data from your hard disk and remove unnecessary entries from your registry. It can defragment your hard disk and registry and optimize your system settings to make Windows run substantially faster. Most of this maintenance is performed automatically every week by TuneUp 1-Click Maintenance.

New Features in TuneUp Utilities 2009:
Compared to TuneUp Utilities 2007, TuneUp Utilities 2009 features a number of substantial upgrades and new features. Once again, our goal for the update was to implement the requests of our users in a simple and easy way. The most important changes are listed below.
- New module: "TuneUp Drive Defrag"
TuneUp Utilities 2009 now includes the brand new TuneUp Drive Defrag module, one of the most powerful modules in the Increase performance category. TuneUp Drive Defrag performs a thorough analysis of your disks to determine whether they are highly fragmented. Highly fragmented disks can slow down your system performance, as the files needed by Windows must first be reconstructed from individual pieces (fragments) before they can be opened.
TuneUp Drive Defrag puts the scattered fragments on your hard disk back together to speed up your system substantially. The files are also reorganized in an intelligent way so that Windows and frequently used programs or games will launch substantially faster. Finally, the free space on your disks is consolidated to prevent new fragments from being created for as long as possible. This comprehensive optimization may take a while but is worth it - just give it a try!
Improved TuneUp 1-Click Maintenance
TuneUp 1-Click Maintenance in TuneUp Utilities 2009 allows you to perform even more maintenance functions on your system with a single click of the mouse. You can also run this important function directly from the Start Center. Additional information about TuneUp 1-Click Maintenance is also shown there. In the new software version, defragmentation of your hard disks is now included in TuneUp 1-Click Maintenance. While this is being done in the background, you can minimize TuneUp 1-Click Maintenance and continue working with your computer without any problems.
New Start Center - even easier to use
The TuneUp Utilities Start Center has been completely redesigned to make it more visually appealing and modern. But that's not all. The new software version now lets users navigate to program modules much more quickly. The completely revised navigation system in the TuneUp Utilities 2009 Start Center has been made even more intuitive. The left side of the window now shows potential changes that can be made. There are now six categories to choose from: Increase performance, Free up disk space, Maintain Windows, Solve problems, Customize Windows and Additional tools. After a category has been selected, the names of the corresponding modules will be displayed on the right side of the window.
The latest version of the software now includes links to specific functions within the modules. The program also displays links to related modules along the bottom edge of every category page ("See also").
New area: "Free up disk space"
Even the largest hard disk fills up at some point. With today's Internet connections and the constantly growing range of downloads, this happens more quickly than most users would like it to. That's why TuneUp Utilities 2008 now offers even more features to find and delete unnecessary files.
In the Free up disk space area of the Start Center, TuneUp Utilities 2009 now gives you an overview of the amount of space that can be saved on each system drive. This function replaces and expands upon the "TuneUp DiskCleaner" module, which was used in earlier versions of TuneUp Utilities. In addition to the file types that were identified by the older program versions, the program now finds error reporting files, thumbnail files (Windows, ACDSee and Google Picasa formats), restore points, Windows Update backups and the Google Earth cache. The "Windows functions" category, also new, can help you to quickly free up gigabytes of additional disk space.
New module: "TuneUp Repair Wizard
The TuneUp Repair Wizard can be opened directly from the Start Center in the new category Solve problems. This recognizes common computer or display problems and can quickly resolve them.
TuneUp System Control with even more tweaks for Vista
TuneUp System Control gives you more than 400 options for customizing Windows and program settings. The new version also includes additional functions for the brand new Windows Vista operating system.

Aqua Clear Systems of Georgia Fined $847,480 by State
ATLANTA, GA – The Governor's Office of Consumer Protection (GOCP) has issued an order assessing an $847,480 civil penalty against Aqua Clear Systems of Georgia, Inc. and its principal, John Carbone, in connection with unfair and deceptive advertising practices.
GOCP alleges that Aqua Clear and Carbone engaged in multiple deceptive acts and practices, including:
- misrepresenting the nature of its business to consumers by disseminating postcards and water testing kits which represented that the company was a delivery service, a "water testing" organization, and an "energy research" company, when in fact the true purpose of the company was to sell water purification systems and solar panel systems to consumers;
- disseminating postcards that advertised sales promotions in which consumers could participate if they allowed Aqua Clear representatives to test the water in their home; however, the postcards did not contain any disclosures related to the promotional offers;
- disseminating postcards to consumers that falsely represented that Aqua Clear's technicians were certified by the Water Quality Association;
- using the NASA logo in its postcards and websites thereby implying that NASA approves and/or uses Aqua Clear products, which is not the case;
- representing through its websites, "purewater4ever.com" and "aquaclearsystems.com", that the company is a member of the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, which it is not.
Aqua Clear disseminated thousands of these allegedly deceptive advertisements in an effort to market its products. GOCP estimates the company had a total of 42,374 violations of Georgia's Fair Business Practices Act. "This is a very significant and well-deserved penalty," says John Sours, Administrator of the Governor's Office of Consumer Protection. "It is important that we crack down on unlawful advertisers and that the sanctity of consumers' homes is not disrupted by predators using deceptive methods."

Baseball Needs a Drinkhall
Although I probably should be watching baseball, I find myself oddly enthralled by the Olympics. Ichiro's chops as a Yankee? Nah, I think I'll watch some women's badminton instead. Fister putting a brief stop to the Tiger's road woes? Hm, I guess I'm going to go for some ping-pong (table tennis, if you want to be stuffy about it). Rivalry weekend in America? Nope, women's skeet shooting.
I'm not saying I'd want to watch these games all the time. I love women's gymnastics as much as the next guy but I can only take so much of it. But at the same time, there's something special about the Olympics. For instance, yesterday I was watching a British dude named Paul Drinkhall advance to the third round in men's table tennis.
First of all, his name is "Drinkhall." How awesome is that? That's like a German guy named "Biergarten." Or an American named "Applebees." Second, this dude has little or no muscle tone, pasty white skin, horrible shorts and an equally terrible haircut but he's an Olympic athlete. That, my friends, is badass. Badass in the same way as David Wells and his Churchillian physique somehow destroying opposing batters.
I freely admit that a lot of it is the novelty. It's hard for the 162-game slog of baseball to compete with the instant gratification of a Moroccan/Uzbek flyweight boxing match. And once the new "Dream Team" really get's going, baseball is going to find it tough going. I guess it's kind of like the guy who has always sworn that he'd never leave his frumpy but faithful wife but somehow finds himself behind the wheel of a convertible with his 24-year old secretary. Sure, it's cheating but really, what were you supposed to do? Odds like those don't come up everyday.
So, I'd like to say that this was just a weekend thing and tomorrow I'll be back to MLB. But we all know I'm lying. Can you blame me though? I mean, seriously, synchronized diving!!!

An randomized clinical trial (RCT) in the Annals of Internal Medicine provides evidence favoring use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) for moderate and severe COPD. Entry criteria included: fev1 less than 65% predicted, at least 10 pack years of cigarette use, and a history of at least one exacerbation of COPD in the preceding year.
Three groups ( about 150 patients per group) were compared:
tiotropium plus placebo
tiotropium plus salmeterol
tiotropium plus salmeterol-futicasone (Advair)
The third group had fewer hospitalizations, improved lung function and a better score on a quality of life question indicator.Numerically there were fewer exacerbations in the triple therapy group but it did not reach statistical significance.
The Advair manufacturers have to be pleased with some relatively good news after bad publicity generated by the SMART trial and subsequent publications by the Salpter family in regard to the use of ICS inhalers in asthma.
I suspect this trial will not bring about any major change in the way pulmonary physicians treat COPD. The recent well publicized TORCH trial compared salmeterol,fluticasone and the combination of the two and demonstrated fewer exacerbations with the combo treatment but did find more pneumonia in the group that received the ICS. The GOLD guidelines already have recommended adding a ICS to COPD patients with severe disease who have a history of repeated exacerbations. ("Severe" according to GOLD is less than 50% fev1 and very severe is less than 30%)
Both the TORCH trial and the current one included patients with FEV1 values greater than 50% of predicted which is the GOLD cut point for severe COPD so possibly more patients may be thought to be candidates for ICS according to the results of these two studies.

Love reading your blog. Thought the readers might find this Mnemonic for COPD useful:
Management Mnemonic in Chronic COPD = "COPD"
C - Cigarette Smoking Cessation
O - Oxygen Therapy if Hypoxic
P - PFTs + Pulmonary Rehab + Pneumococcal Vaccine (+ Flu Vaccine if not taken for that year)
D - Dilators (bronchodilators - B2 Agonists and/or Anticholinergics)
Treament Mnemonic for Acute COPD = "A COPD"
A - Antibiotics if fever and Chest-Xray Suggestive
C - Corticosteroids to reduce hospital stay
O - O2 for hypoxia
P - Phlegm Control (Mucolytics...)
D - Dilators (like above)

Effectiveness of Topiramate in Treating Cocaine Dependent Individuals - 1

|Cocaine-Related Disorders
|Drug: Topiramate + Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Drug: Placebo + Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
|Phase 3
Despite considerable scientific effort in the last two decades to develop treatment for cocaine dependent individuals, no medication has proven to be effective for treating cocaine dependence. Cocaine's rewarding effects are primarily a result of altering nerve pathways involving dopamine, a naturally-occurring chemical in the brain. Past research has focused on developing medications that either block dopamine or inhibit its release. However, these medications have not proven effective in treating cocaine dependence. This study will evaluate a new strategy of treating cocaine dependence by altering dopamine's functional expression. Dopamine-associated expression may be mediated through inhibition of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), another brain chemical. Topiramate is a GABA inhibitor that has proven effective in treating alcohol dependent individuals. The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of topiramate in treating cocaine dependent individuals.
Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either 300 mg per day of topiramate or placebo. In addition, participants will receive weekly cognitive behavioral therapy for 12 weeks. Follow-up visits will occur at 2 weeks and 1, 2, and 3 months following completion of treatment, and will include evaluations of cocaine use and psychosocial functioning.

Its really nice to hear people state the over-obvious and pretend they are experts on the subject. First off, its been international news about famine, and one of the most poorest countries in the world is widely well-known. What I'm looking for here is real people who have actually really been there!! Not a bunch of people who overstate the over-obvious based on the very very basic stuff thats basically written in a one-paragraph blurbs in a dictionary. Anyhow, there shouldn't be a need to 'prove myself' on this point, but I've already traveled and taught English extensively across three continents, about 40 countries (including traveling), over six years. So, if people could refrain from the simplistic assumptions that no one has ever been anywhere before except themselves.. and that spent their time reading dictionary blurbs on the place and are therefore the ultimate experts on the subject.. I would certainly appreciate it. I have, in fact, been in correspondence with people who have had first-hand experience living and working in Ethiopia, and there are in fact tons of jobs and a large demand for English teachers. But of course, you wouldn't get much more money here than you would in China, Malayasia, Ecuador, or a whole hoste of other countries. Anyhow, if someone besides dictionary blurb readers could share some first-hand real experiences there.. it would be significantly more helpful.. I have read everything you could possibly imagine on the subject, and just looking for REAL people to share first-hand knowledge. I definetely already know the simplistic broad comments based on the dictrionary, and went far beyond that to read actual books, websites, newspapers, magazines, and every other kind of publication to the matter. But nothing beats first-hand knowledge to a place. So anyhow, anyone with REAL first-hand input on the place?

From your original posting it appears that you know absolutely nothing about the Horn of Africa. Why did you not ask some specific questions ? Then you might get somewhere. Back to top Tiger BeerJoined: 08 Feb 2003Posts: 778Location: Hong Kong Posted: Wed Feb 12, 2003 12:13 pm Post subject: specific questions Some of us have experience Scot? Well, it doesn't sound like you have experience in Ethiopia, or else you would have real knowlege of the place and would have answered the questions appropriately - which was basically, has anyone lived and worked in Ethiopia before? Its not the most common of places to work, so this question alone should jump out at someone who has, and they would most likely to say 'yes, i have' and go about their experiences. At least thats what I do when people ask general questions like 'has anyone worked in Brazil? or Chile? or Korea? or Hungary?' or somewhere where I can give some information. However, if someone asks that same question regarding a place I've never been (like Spain for example), then knowing I don't know anything about the place, I don't respond to that question. If you have worked in Ethiopia or Eritrea, my follow-up questions would be more specific. Like not 'is it poor?' like you assumed my question was going to be, but more along the lines of 'what kind of contracts do they offer?' 'do most people work under a contract or contract themselves out to others?', 'how is the living situation?', 'is there a decent expat scene?', 'do i need to find my own housing?', 'do many people on the streets know some English, or do you find you have to study Ahrmaric?' and mostly likely I'd want to know what their day-to-day existance as a foreigner and a teacher was like... If you think you can answer these questions, I would welcome them. But your response telling me 'its too poor' and 'there are no jobs' doesn't help me when I know you don't know what you are talking about.. and when I know of others who have taught there and found jobs quite easily. I'm trying to get back in-touch with those who actually have the knowledge. I'm sorry about 'my attitude'.. but its just annoying to get 'attitude' of someone whose never been there telling me to read about it for myself so i'd know its too poor and there are no jobs.. and a whole hoste of other ignorant assumptions..

The famine isn't really effecting anything, everything is the same as usual. i.e. There will always be beggars in Addis. I would also think teaching there wouldn't be much different than teaching in any other poor country like Vietnam or Ecuador. So don't listen to these guys who say its too poor. So is the rest of the world, but they still want to study English and get ahead. There is a demand in Ethiopia too. It probably doesn't pay much, but neither does Mongolia or other places, but you probably already know that. So I hope some of this helps. Unfortunately I don't know about the teaching scene in Addis, as I was mostly traveling around the country itself didn't spend much time there.

Back to top Guest Posted: Wed Feb 26, 2003 1:59 pm Post subject: Living and Working in Ethiopia Hey there, Tiger Beer! I know you've had this question up for some time, and at long last I have a few free minutes at the company computer to respond. I taught the last school year in Ethiopia. I wasn't in Addis, but in a smaller city called Gondar. I worked at one of the myriad teacher training colleges scattered around the country. I went with an organization called IFESH (International Foundation for Education and Self Help.) IFESH sends volunteers to about 12 different African countries, I think, and is particularly involved with educational, judicial, and medical advancement in Africa. If you're from the U.S., it would certainly be worth your effort to check out this organization. They have fantastic support, and the stipend is a bit higher than that of other voluntary organizations. Also, they only ask for a one year commitment. I'd say that about 90% of their volunteers have a Masters degree or higher, but a few of us managed to slip in with only extensive experience under our belts! VSO is also very strong in Ethiopia. It seems like a great organization, and I was impressed with all of the volunteers I knew. VSO (and Peace Corps) ask for a two year commitment. They don't pay much of a stipend, but enough to live comfortably. Peace Corps wasn't in Ethiopia, last I knew, although the American embassador told me several months ago that they were planning on returning soon. For all I know, they may now be in the country. If you have solid qualifications, I'd also check out the International School or the American School, both in Addis. These places cater to wealthy locals and diplomat kids, and pay incredibly well, by Ethiopian standards. They're hard places to crack, and tend to be a bit nepotistic. You're correct; there are many, many schools and colleges across the country that would love to have you at their schools. The biggest drawback is the money, or the lack of it. Whoops! I've got to run. I'll try to write again later, but feel free to ask any questions. Good luck in this magical country!

The Hope College Great Performance Series will feature Cuban jazz artist Chuchito Valdés and his quartet on Friday, Jan. 16, at 7:30 p.m. in Dimnent Memorial Chapel.
Chuchito Valdés, following in the footsteps of his famed father Chucho Valdés and grandfather Bebo Valdés, continues the legacy of great piano players from Cuba. With influences of Caribbean rhythms and jazz, Valdés creates a unique blend of spicy music.
"Chuchito Valdés displays the... intensity and daredevil technique of the elder Valdés--qualities recognized worldwide as hallmarks of Cuban Jazz," said Neil Tesser of "The Reader."
Valdés has recorded and performed piano with the world-renowned Cuban band, Irakere, which he led for two years. He has also performed at festivals, clubs and concerts throughout the world: from Cuba and the Caribbean to North America, South America, and Europe. He is recognized as a master of Cuban music including Son, Danzon, Cuban Timba and Guaguanco. He has also extensively studied classical music including harmony and composition. His original compositions and arrangements draw on classical harmonic and structural techniques.
As a result, his music is creating new sounds based on the traditional sounds of his family.
"Valdés and his band reinvigorated age old Cuban musical forms, the venerable cha-cha-cha and mambo standards revitalized by the muscular virtuosity of a mostly younger generation of players," said Howard Reich of the "Chicago Tribune."
In his performances, Valdés' music draws on many styles, including Afro-Cuban Latin Jazz, Bebop, Danzon, Cha-Cha-Cha, Son Montuno and much more. Valdés currently resides in Cancun, Mexico.
Tickets for the performance are on sale at the ticket office in the front lobby of the DeVos Fieldhouse, and cost $17 for regular admission, $12 for senior citizens, and $6 for children 18 and under. The ticket office is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and can be called at (616) 395-7890. Any remaining tickets will be sold at the door.
The DeVos Fieldhouse is located at 222 Fairbanks Ave., between Ninth and 11th streets. Dimnent Memorial Chapel is located at 277 College Ave., on College Avenue at 12th Street.

Version 0.6 of restSQL, an open-source persistence framework, was released on July 15. The release extends database interoperability from MySQL to PostgreSQL. It also includes extension mechanisms to easily develop support for other database engines. The release additionally was tested with multiple application servers to ensure interoperability with any standard JEE container.
See http://restsql.org for an overview, developer documentation and binary distributions of the framework and the SDK. The source code is licensed under MIT and hosted on github.
restSQL is a very unconventional, ultra-lightweight data access layer. For many applications, conventional ORM is heavyweight and inflexible, and conventional Web Services (WSDL/SOAP) are cumbersome. restSQL substantially lightens the middle-tier. It is targeted at the 80% of data access that is basic CRUD (Create-Read-Update-Delete), making it faster and simpler to develop distributed applications.
restSQL is not an object-oriented view of the database. It presents flat or hierarchical "views" of relational database tables. These views are query-able and updatable through a simple REST-based HTTP or Java API. The HTTP interface is based on REST principles, which use HTTP's built-in features, rather than abstracting away from them.
restSQL - Trim your middle!

About the Game
Diamond Deal is an immensely engaging and entertaining scratch card game. With lots of big rewards, this scratch card game is one of the most sought after games of all times.

The user interface of this scratch card game is also very easy to use. The simple gameplay and the big rewards make it a must play.
To win the massive reward, all that a player needs to do is to show 10 diamonds in a row but, without losing the lives or bringing down the current prize's value. First and foremost, the player needs to zero on the amount he wishes to play with. He will be provided 6 betting options; the more the amount, the more the jackpot. The jackpot amounts are: £100,000 for £1; £200,000 for £2; £300,000 for £3; £400,000 for £4; £500,000 for £5; and £1,000,000 for £10.
The player will see 50 boxes on the grid but, the diamonds are present in only 10 of them. If the player picks an empty box, he loses 1 out of 4 lives. Losing all four in a row will snatch the entire prize from the player.
The "Quick Pick" option searches everything and set the slot game for you. After hitting this button, a box will open in front of the player. If the player finds a gem inside the box, the slot game will stop and a sum of money is credited to the player. To resume, the player has to hit the button again. The game goes on until and unless the player finds a diamond. Once the player gets the diamond, it will act as the "Cash Out" feature. Diamond Deal offers the player full liberty to cash out any time they want with the reward they have won.
Diamond Deal is full of diamonds, a lot of money and big entertainment. Who doesn't love dealing with diamonds and especially if big bumper rewards are guaranteed

Pennsylvania has informed the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that it will not perform extensive planning on health care exchanges and essential benefits until the department answers its questions.
Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner Michael Consedine recounted the complexities of the issue in a statement to the Committee on Ways & Means last week.
"The final rule on 'exchange establishment,' one of the few regulations actually released, had approximately 100 references to 'future' or 'forthcoming' guidance or regulation. To date, I am unaware of any of those regulations being published. States are missing details regarding fundamental aspects of exchange operation, like application requirements, citizen and income verification and appeals processes," he said.
Consedine referenced an Aug. 23 letter to HHS in which he wrote, "Given the extent and nature of the questions that remain open, we have determined that at this time it would be imprudent for us to continue extensive planning efforts until we receive answers to these items.
"Therefore, Pennsylvania will not be expending any of its Level 1 Establishment grant funding until such a time when the information we require to make an informed decision is provided to us by your Department."
The letter concluded, "As we await your response, Pennsylvania will be continuing its work towards achieving meaningful and sustainable health care solutions in our state."
At the time of the statement, Consedine said, HHS had not responded to the letter.
Consedine is chairing a National Association of Insurance Commissioners group working to identify unaddressed issues with exchanges to help states to better understand the impact the operation of a federal exchange may have on their insurance markets. He said 22 states had signed up to participate.

eatery 1025 :: You Should Go To There!
Utah… a culinary wonderland! (?) Yep…I just used Utah and culinary in the same sentence! I do this not out of foolishness…but because I actually know! Of course, I could spend at least an hour or two telling you all about the secret spots, my new faves, the good 'ole standby's, the uniquely Utah locales, and of course where to find the best beer…nope…I'm just going to tell you about one little place that is well-deserving of your attention! eatery 1025.
I am not the first to take notice…and will not be the last. Due to my lack to photography skills…I have borrowed a photo from the Salt lake Tribune as my attempts hardly did justice to the beauty of the chilled beet and cucumber soup!
(photo courtesy of Francisco Kjolseth/Salt Lake Tribune)
There is just one little quirky thing about eatery 1025…it's technically in Bountiful. Don't let this stop you…it is worth the trip…right off the freeway…no big deal…it's closer Alta and Snowbird!
The self-describe their menu as clean with seasonal ingredients. I would agree although I'd throw in a splash of creativity, a slight lean towards gluten-free and vegetarian and a knack for taking dishes found on many menus and making them unique and extraordinary. Executive Chef, Chelsa Best and Sous Chef, Liam Connelly have put their all into this little place and expanding the gastronomic horizons of Bountiful! (and they have a tiny kitchen – having worked in kitchens, I know the challenges of tight spaces…you've got to have some happiness in the kitchen if you want your food to have love…which it does!)
Blah, blah, blah…get on to the good stuff…
Spicy Turkey Lettuce Wraps
Sampling of side dishes: honey-glazed carrots, rosemary fingerlings and curried cauliflower
Caesar Salad – parmesan frico, hearts of romaine, chopped hard-boiled egg, grilled red onions, crouton fingers, and last…and my favorite…fried capers!
Zucchini ribbons with chicken sausage and ricotta salata – no noodles here, just zucchini. Fresh and brilliant!
Can you tell that we ordered many things…
Sweet pea spinach salad with caramelized onions, pine nuts and topped with salmon
Grilled ham and cheese with mustard and caramelized onions on sourdough
You can't go wrong with a traditional and nicely grilled cheese sandwich
Chicken gyro on fresh pita
The space is bright and inviting mimicking the character of the dishes. Currently they are serving breakfast (go for the oatmeal brûlée!) and lunch and will hopefully be serving dinner this fall.
Of course, I couldn't leave without a sweet nibble…and truthfully, despite the bursting-at-the-seams feeling in my stomach…I could have squeezed in at least two more of these…they were that good!
Vanilla cupcakes with fresh strawberry mascarpone frosting!
(do you want to know a secret…? these cupcakes are gluten-free! I am not usually a fan of gluten-free…and I would not have known…delicious and made fresh daily on site! Shhhhhh…don't tell anyone!)
Overall, the menu is filled with options to satisfy both traditional and eccentric tastes while not overreaching.
What they do…they are doing well.
You Should Go To There!
eatery1025 •1025 South 500 West • Bountiful, Utah • 84010
**I may or may not know and or be related to the sous chef. This in no way affected my overwhelmingly positive and delicious experience! 🙂

|Lesson Author
Princeton, Massachusetts
At the heart of all feature stories is human interest. This lesson asks students to write a profile of a classmate, with a particular focus on a talent, interest, or passion of that classmate. As an introduction to the feature article, students compare the characteristics of a hard news story to those of a feature story. They then practice writing about the same event in the two different styles. Next, they list and freewrite about their own talents and interests. These topics then become the focus of a feature story as students randomly select topics noted by classmates and write interview questions based on them. Finally, students interview a classmate, write a feature story, and share it with the class. This lesson enables students to practice interviewing techniques, develop voice, learn to write for an audience, and perhaps most importantly, celebrate their individual strengths.
Qualities of a Feature Story: This handout lists the main characteristics of a feature story.
Printing Press: Students can use this online tool to publish their writing as a newspaper, flyer, brochure, or booklet.
This lesson plan taps two pedagogical beliefs-students work best in collaborative and supportive environments, and moving beyond the typical essay formats can help students grow as writers. In Go Public! Encouraging Student Writers to Publish, Susanne Rubenstein explains that the writing teacher: "must create a classroom environment that allows her students to see themselves and each other as writers, not students. In this classroom-turned-writing-community, the writers support and encourage each other, and, through their efforts, not only as fellow writers but also as readers and as editors, they work to strengthen both the quality of each other's work and the confidence of the writer. . . within this classroom-turned-writing-community, writers are engaged in work that has meaning outside of the classroom." (15)
This notion of collaborative growth in the writing classroom fits naturally with writing feature stories, which move beyond the typical personal essay format and give students the chance to share significant personal information with one another. Rubenstein explains, "Certainly there is nothing wrong with teaching students to write personal essays . . . . But as a form it is perhaps overused in middle and high school classrooms, and when students begin to see it as the way one writes in school,' they adopt a writing voice that is academic and artificial and calculated to please the teacher alone" (43). To avoid this situation, Rubenstein invites students to "experiment with different genres to find their strong suit" (43). Feature stories provide just the right solution: "Through the writing and reading of each [feature] story, students come to learn a lot about each other in a very short time, and we are well on our way to becoming a community of writers" (44).

6 Must-Watch Indie Directors
Here's a secret about yours truly: I'm obsessed with films… and that's also a huge understatement. While I have nothing against the big blockbusters that seem to have taken over modern cinema (I could watch Marvel's films for days), the film fanatic in me has been known to watch a wide variety of films and has the DVD collection to prove it – ringing it at over 400+ DVDs, excluding my television series collection. I get plenty of gruff about that from my parents. Of the films I've seen and…Read More

Howard Rachofsky
- November 27, 2012 7:00 AM
Howard Rachofsky is an internationally renowned collector of contemporary art living in Dallas. He began collecting in the mid-1970s, and over the past three decades has amassed a world-class collection of paintings, sculpture, video, and installation art by many of the era's greatest artists, including Robert Irwin, Donald Judd, Anselm Kiefer, Jeff Koons, Bruce Nauman, Gerhard Richter, and Mark Rothko, among many others.
In 1996, Rachofsky opened a spacious, modernist house designed by renowned architect Richard Meier. This house, which the collector has opened to the public and for school tours, has been the focus for installing different aspects of the collection in unique ways. This fall, he will open another space (17,000 square feet) in Dallas for even larger and more ambitious installations. Rachofsky will talk about his collecting philosophy and his future plans for the collection.
This popular series of lectures and presentations by artists, scholars, and critics is free and open to the public.

It's been a big food day here in Michigan. You know how I love trying new foods, right? Well, I tried two new foods today! Did Christmas come early?
I blog about new types of produce regularly (just scroll down on the My Favorite Posts page for proof), and one of the new foods today was indeed a type of fruit. But the other was a new type of protein, which a very rarely blog about. So let's save that for later and start with the produce, shall we?
New Produce. In November of 2010, I brought home something from the store that I had never heard of called a yali pear. Turns out it's a type of Asian pear (which I also had never heard of), but my yali was a complete dud. When I cut it open, it was brown and disgusting. It was the first produce experiment on this blog that was a failure – and you can read all about it here.
I haven't tried a yali pear since then – or any type of Asian pear, for that matter – partly because I was turned off, and partly because I don't see them very frequently at stores. But when I arrived at my parents' house the other day, a whole box of them that my dad had picked up at Costco were sitting on the counter. They weren't exactly the same – instead of yali, they were an Asian pear variety called apple pears – but I decided to give one a go.
My apple pear:
There's nothing in that picture to help suggest size, but they're bigger than the average apple or pear – more like a large orange. Despite their name, apple pears are not a hybrid of apples and pears – they're an Asian species of pear that look more apple-like than any other pear, hence the name.
The apple pear cut open (look, nothing brown or disgusting!):
I have high expectations for anything pear or pear-related, because I love pears. And the apple pear? Well, I don't love it. It's fine. It's edible. I don't wanna spit it into the trash and bust out the ipecac. But it's not the best thing ever. The texture is different from other pears – it's crispier and lighter, almost jicama-ish in texture. The flavor is more delicate, and the juice is more watery. I will say I liked the second apple pear I ate more than the first – and I don't know if that's because it was simply a better apple pear, or if I grew to like it more. There's still a bunch of apple pears on the counter, so I'll probably another one (or three), but I don't think I'll be rushing out to find them when I get back to California.
New Protein. Have you ever tried moose before? I tried it for the first time a few hours ago. The moose meat, strangely enough, showed up rather unexpectedly at our door. Here's what happened:
My mom has a friend who lives in Maine. This guy is a hunter, and they were talking recently, and he told her that he bagged a moose (!) and had a butcher process it into all the different cuts and pieces. My mom joked that he should send her some, thinking that he wouldn't actually do it, but when she got home today, there was a cooler of overnighted moose meat on the front porch! We thawed some of the moose steaks (from the hind quarters, according to his label). Raw moose steaks:
Those are all pretty small, as steaks go – I'd say the largest one was 6 ounces, tops. Look how lean they are! According to this chart, moose is lower in calories than USDA choice beef (130 calories per 100 grams vs. 180), and much leaner, too (.5% fat vs. 6.5%).
Sidebar: I just learned that the moose weighed 800 pounds and yielded 400 pounds of meat. WOWSA!
I was pretty excited to try moose. I don't eat red meat very often nowadays, which meant this was an extra-special treat. I got out a 10-inch skillet, and started by sauteing 1/2 an onion and a bunch of baby portobello mushrooms. One those were cooked, I removed them, seasoned the steaks with a little pepper and Lawry's seasoned salt, turned the heat the high, and tossed in the steaks so they'd get a nice sear. They only took a few minutes on each side (the hunter recommended not cooking them beyond medium-rare, or they lose their flavor), and at the end, I threw the onions and mushrooms back in:
I had a piece that was about 4 ounces:
I really enjoyed the moose, and my parents did, too. It was gamier and a little chewier than beef, and I thought it was delicious. And there's a leftover steak in the fridge… maybe tomorrow I'll make a moose sandwich!
Moose is the latest game meat that I've tried. A few months ago I blogged about eating alligator (read about it here), and I've also tried venison, bison, ostrich, and rabbit, and jerky pieces of elk and reindeer. I've always been interested in trying wild boar… maybe that'll be next on the list?
The rest of my dinner, by the way, was a big salad and a bowl of vegetable barley soup.
Keep it up, David!

Press Release: Nhojj Joins SASOD 10 Year Celebration
Thursday, 13 June 2013 - 11:20pm
The Society Against Sexual Orientation Discrimination (SASOD), a human rights organization in Guyana welcomed 3x OUTMusic Award winner Nhojj to headline its 10 year anniversary concert and celebration dubbed "SASOD at 10: Nhojj & Friends on Stage" on Friday, June 7, 2013, at the Sidewalk Café & Jazz Club in Georgetown.
Over the past decade, SASOD, a non-governmental organization that advocates for equal rights and justice for all, especially lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Guyanese has had lots to celebrate. Now in its 9th year, "Painting The Spectrum" is the only LGBT film festival in the English-speaking Caribbean; and for the last 4 years, SASOD has held its annual International AIDS Candlelight Memorial on the steps of the St. George's Cathedral, one of the tallest wooden buildings in the world. The organization has also been actively working through the legal system to repeal discriminatory laws, and is currently waiting a judgement on a suit filed against the state for unconstitutional violations of 4 trans individuals.
Chicago based Guyanese singer/songwriter Nhojj is no stranger to advocacy and promoting human rights. His music video "Love" shows the budding romance between 2 males and he wrote the theme song for the documentary on depression in black gay men "You Are Not Alone" directed by NAACP Image Award-winning Stanley Bennett Clay. Last month he finished recording his 5th studio album tentatively titled "I Was Made To Love Him" featuring Swiss Chris on drums (John Legend), Lonnie Plaxico on bass (Cassandra Wilson), Onaje Allan Gumbs (Woody Shaw), and co-produced by John F. Adams (Taylor Dayne). He's shared stages with Nora Jones, Diana King and Regina Bell and received public congratulations from The Advocate and Centric TV's "Soul Sessions" for his work.
Nhojj arrived in Guyana on Thursday night and promotion for the celebration concert started on Friday morning with radio station interviews at NCN 98.1 Hot FM and HJ 94.1 Boom FM, and a press conference in the Bourbon Room at the Sidewalk Café to discuss SASOD's month-long anniversary celebrations, Nhojj's career in the USA, and his connection to Guyana and SASOD. The last interview of the day was at "For a Better World" on Voice Of Guyana (VOG) 102.1 FM where Nhojj, probably the first out Guyanese singer, sang his OMA winning song over the airwaves - "Gay Warrior Song," a composition he dedicated to SASOD's activism.
Left to Right: Nhojj, SASOD Co-Chairs, Namela Baynes-Rowe and Joel Simpson at presser.
That night, at the Sidewalk Café & Jazz Club, Nhojj serenaded the crowd with a collection of songs celebrating same-gender love, which included "He Heals Me," "Bromance" and "Live Your Life." A diverse array of local Guyanese artistes rounded out the bill: rock duo "Keep your Day Job"; vocalists Natasha Yhap, Keimo Benjamin, Maria Rosheuvel and Anthony Stayman; poet Lloyda Nicholas accompanied by Andrew Tyndall on steel pan; dancer Isaiah Luther; and jazz saxophonist Francis Bailey.

As the night drew to a close, the tables and chairs were cleared away to make room for a dancing. "What I loved most was everyone dancing together at the end of the concert" Nhojj explains, "gay, straight, trans, lesbians, and I'm sure there were some bisexuals there too - but it didn't matter, everyone was celebrating together and that's what we are working towards - a world where everyone is equal and can express who they truly are."
On Sunday, June 9, Nhojj participated in a panel discussion at "Painting the Spectrum 9" following the screening of this year's feature film – "You Are Not Alone," produced by Guyanese award-winning journalist Antoine Craigwell. The discussion was moderated by SASOD Co-Chair Joel Simpson with Craigwell using Skype to participate from his home in New York City. Nhojj spoke about his experience overcoming depression, and how he uses his music to inspire others to love themselves, in spite of society's pressures. The other panelist was Bishop Francis Alleyne, Head of the Roman Catholic Church in Guyana, who explained the Church's position on equality and their commitment to ensuring the repeal of Guyana's discriminatory laws.

The activities for SASOD's 10th anniversary concert, celebrations and Nhojj's visit to Guyana were supported by the Center for Black Equity, based in Washington DC, as well as the British High Commission in Georgetown and the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Wordless Wednesday - Snowman before the Blizzard
We finally managed to dig our way out after the "Blizzard of 2011." No pictures of that, but my daughter made a little snowman all on her own this past weekend on our deck. She was very proud. Luckily, since the deck is higher up in the air, the snowman didn't get covered up with mounds of snow. The snow blew right off, due to the high winds. Our driveway, on the other hand, had some pretty big drifts!
And, just a little update - I haven't been feeling the best this week and haven't felt much like posting. Plus, the little guy is recovering from an ear infection. Hope we'll all be back up to speed soon. Sorry for the lull!
Happy Groundhog's Day & Chinese New Year!

We have snow, but didn't get all of the blizzards over here in Pittsburgh. This time last year we got hit hard with "Snowmeggdon 2010". Wondering if it's going to show up this weekend for the Superbowl.

FREMONT — The sale of Solyndra's cavernous solar panel factory for $90.2 million to Seagate Technology was approved Thursday by a U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
"The primary use of the building will be to replace our current media R&D facility in Fremont," Seagate spokesman Brian Ziel said in an email to this newspaper. "It's a little too early to discuss exact plans in terms of expansion or hiring. We have about 500 employees in our current Fremont facility."
The factory is perched prominently along Interstate 880 at 47488 Kato Road, the northern most building that Solyndra had operated on that street before the once high-flying solar maker imploded in August of last year.
A $535 million loan guarantee for the factory by the U.S. Department of Energy became a focus of controversy when Solyndra abruptly closed its doors and jettisoned 1,100 employees.
Seagate's purchase price is 70 percent below the $300 million cost of construction of the building, as detailed in bankruptcy court records.
The sale of the 412,000-square-foot complex was arranged through commercial realty brokerage Jones Lang LaSalle, which was hired by the bankruptcy court to handle the marketing of the property.
The agreement requires Seagate to transfer $5 million into an escrow account within the next few days. Then Seagate is obliged to transfer another $5 million into to the escrow account at the end of a due-diligence period.
"We are proceeding with the final close over the next month," Ziel said.
The sale of the building may mark the concluding chapter of one of the most infamous meltdowns of a cleantech firm, a company the Obama Administration touted as a leader in clean energy.
"We are glad to see this building operating again in Fremont," said Christina Briggs, the city's economic development manager.
The shutdown of the NUMMI automobile factory in April 2010 and the collapse of Solyndra slightly more than a year later were calamities that jolted Fremont's economy.
Now, a Tesla Motors (TSLA) electric vehicle factory is operating at the old NUMMI plant, and Seagate is poised to take over the Solyndra complex.
"This signals another turnaround story for Fremont," said Kelly Kline, Fremont's city economic development director. "Fremont embodies that Silicon Valley spirit of recreating itself."

monopoly (plural monopolies)
Further reading
A monopoly (from Greek monos / ╬╝╬┐╬Į╬┐Žé (alone or single) + polein / ŽĆŽē╬╗╬Ą╬╣╬Į (to sell)) exists when a specific person or enterprise is the only supplier of a particular commodity. (This contrasts with a monopsony which relates to a single entity's control of a market to purchase a good or service, and with oligopoly which consists of a few entities dominating an industry). Monopolies are thus characterized by a lack of economic competition to produce the good or service and a lack of viable substitute goods. The verb "monopolise" refers to the process by which a company gains much greater market share than what is expected with perfect competition.
A monopoly is distinguished from a monopsony, in which there is only one buyer of a product or service ; a monopoly may also have monopsony control of a sector of a market. Likewise, a monopoly should be distinguished from a cartel (a form of oligopoly), in which several providers act together to coordinate services, prices or sale of goods. Monopolies, monopsonies and oligopolies are all situations such that one or a few of the entities have market power and therefore interact with their customers (monopoly), suppliers (monopsony) and the other companies (oligopoly) in a game theoretic manner - meaning that expectations about their behavior affects other players' choice of strategy and vice versa. This is to be contrasted with the model of perfect competition in which companies are "price takers" and do not have market power.
When not coerced legally to do otherwise, monopolies typically maximize their profit by producing fewer goods and selling them at higher prices than would be the case for perfect competition. Sometimes governments decide legally that a given company is a monopoly that doesn't serve the best interests of the market and/or consumers. Governments may force such companies to divide into smaller independent corporations as was the case of United States v. AT&T, or alter its behavior as was the case of United States v. Microsoft, to protect consumers.
Monopolies can be established by a government, form naturally, or form by mergers. A monopoly is said to be coercive when the monopoly actively prohibits competitors by using practices (such as underselling) which derive from its market or political influence. There is often debate of whether market restrictions are in the best long-term interest of present and future consumers.
In many jurisdictions, competition laws restrict monopolies. Holding a dominant position or a monopoly of a market is not illegal in itself, however certain categories of behavior can, when a business is dominant, be considered abusive and therefore incur legal sanctions. A government-granted monopoly or legal monopoly, by contrast, is sanctioned by the state, often to provide an incentive to invest in a risky venture or enrich a domestic interest group. Patents, copyright, and trademarks are all examples of government granted and enforced monopolies. The government may also reserve the venture for itself, thus forming a government monopoly.

News & Notes: Game 24
Saturday, April 30, 2011 (6:35 p.m.) – Coca-Cola Park
Radio: WWKB AM 1520, bisons.com
Buffalo Bisons (10-13, T4th(-4.5), North)
RHP D.J. Carrasco (0-0, 0.00)
Lehigh Valley IronPigs (11-11, 3rd(-3.0), North)
RHP Nate Bump (0-1, 5.49)
TODAY'S GAME: Tonight, the Buffalo Bisons are in the Lehigh Valley for the first game of a four-game series against the IronPigs from Coca-Cola Park (6:35 p.m.). The Herd is coming off a four-game split in Rochester against the Red Wings. Following this series, the Bisons will return home to host their first non-divisional opponent of the year, the Louisville Bats from May 5-8.
VS. IRONPIGS: The Bisons are 2-2 against the IronPigs this year as the teams split a four-game set at Coca-Cola Field in Buffalo, April 22-25. The Herd was 5-3 in Lehigh Valley last year, thanks in large part to a two-game sweep, August 9-10. The Bisons have not won a four-game set at Coca-Cola Park in the three years of the IronPigs existence.
HEY MR. D.J.: RHP D.J. CARRASCO will make his first start as a Bisons pitcher today. The 34-year old pitched an inning of shutout relief on Tuesday in Rochester in his Herd debut. Carrasco was 0-1 with a 5.91ERA in eight games with the Mets before being optioned to Buffalo. One of those outings was a start as the righty worked 3.2 innings in Atlanta (4H, 3R, 3ER, 3BB, 2K).
ZIPPIDY DUDA: OF LUCAS DUDA has five extra-base hits in his last five games, including a pair of home runs. The slugger had just one double and one homer in his first 13 games of the season.
BULLY FOR THE PEN: The Bisons bullpen came through again last night with five shutout innings. LHP MIKE O'CONNOR threw three frames for the win while RHP DALE THAYER worked the final two for his first save of the season. So far this year, Herd relievers have posted a 2.79ERA with only 69 hits allowed in 80.2 innings of work.
HIT MACHINE: OF JESUS FELICIANO is starting to heat up at the plate. The outfielder has five hits in his last three games, including two doubles and two RBI. Feliciano had just two hits in his first six games of the season. He has averaged .311 and .339 in his past two seasons in Buffalo. His .320 average in 228 career games with the Bisons is the second-highest average in the team's modern era (OF Dave Clark, .327).
METS UPDATE: The Mets (11-15) lost to the Phillies by a 10-3 score on Friday night. Former Bisons INF IKE DAVIS and OF JASON PRIDIE hit home runs in the loss as INF Ryan Howard had two home runs of his own, including a grand slam off RHP DILLON GEE. The Mets take on the Phillies again today at 1:10 p.m.

The Lakeside Area is a thriving multi-use community with roots in the 1960's. At that time the area was agricultural with only a few small industrial sites. Following Omaha's path of westward suburban growth, home construction began and commercial and office development gradually followed. A small lake and park were set aside as green space, and the neighborhood soon became known as the Lakeside Area.
Today it encompasses land between Pacific Street and West Center Road, from the Papio Creek west to 180th Street and includes over ten housing developments. A thriving commercial section along both sides of West Center Road from 168th Street to 180th Street is the site of numerous restaurants/bars, shops and boutiques, as well as a popular "big box" store. And one of Omaha's most popular local grocery chains has a full service facility in the development.
The most noticeable presence in the area is the Lakeside Alegent Creighton Health Community. It is a 157 bed acute care hospital with a medical office building and wellness center attached. Other ancillary medical services, especially those needed by seniors, are available in offices and facilities nearby, thus making the total complex a major employer in the area.
Homes in the area are typical for the Omaha suburban area—two stories, ranches, tri-levels and split entries. They vary greatly in size, age and amenities with price ranges from the mid $100,000 to the low $300,000 range. New construction is still available in the 180th Street corridor and the pride of ownership is evident in the landscaping and upgrades of many of the older homes. Neighborhood associations function separately in their activities and local governance issues, but also cooperate in school organizations and major situations affecting the entire Lakeside community.
Two popular suburban school districts service the area. Homes east of 168th Street are in the Millard School District and homes west of 168th are in the Elkhorn School District. Each district has a highly rated elementary school within the Lakeside Area, and middle and high schools for each district are a short drive away.
The Lakeside Area is a vibrant, popular home site for families—especially those looking for homes in a mid-priced range with good schools.

For People with Disabilities
More than 43 million Americans have a disability, and their impairments make it important to have a detailed fire escape plan. Here are some fire safety tips tips for people with disabilities:
- Most fire deaths happen in a home, so create a fire escape plan and practice the plan at least twice a year. Plan for anyone with a disability and plan around such disabilities.
- Make sure there are two ways out of every room and every building.
- Designate a safe meeting place in front of the home.
- If there is a fire or smoke, call 911, the fire emergency number or the TTY-equipped 911 center from a neighbor's phone or a cell phone.
- Ask your fire department to review your plan. Some departments have voluntary registeries for people who may need extra assistance or may need to shelter in place.
- Keep a phone by your bed in case you become trapped.
- Install properly functioning smoke alarms.
